Today was "The Manta Day"!

Hey guys!

Today was “The Manta Day”!

Check this out folks: After spending an hour with the Mexican Navy, we moved to Cabo Pearce to start our diving day, I went down and set the anchor on the bottom of the dive site and my surprise was to see already 4 mantas!!, so I came back up to the boat and told everybody “The mantas are already waiting for us”, so everybody got excited and jumped to the water, having 75 F of water temperature and a visibility of 50’ and no current, we were welcomed by not only 4 mantas, there were 10 different mantas at least coming to the cleaning station and to enjoy our bubbles, it was outstanding!

Our second dive was even more active, we had 5 dolphins playing at the surface, when we descended the dolphins have gone but left us the same 10 mantas that we’ve seen in the previous dive plus another 5 different mantas that joined to the game, we almost had a manta for everybody!, don’t you think was hilarious!?
 
While some people were relaxing during the surface interval, others jumped to the zodiac and enjoyed one of the famous Jeronimo’s panga rides! So, after having our delicious club sandwich and people have taken a nap, we got ready to do our third and final dive of the day, we went down into the blue and the conditions have changed to give us just 30’ of visibility, tha mantas have gone but the wrasses gave us a complete spawning show as they always do at the dusk, we enjoyed this phenomenal event from mother nature, also we saw how the steel pompanos gather together at the surface getting ready to spend the night in the shallow reefs of Cabo Pearce.

That’s all for today folks!
Tonight we’ll move to Roca Partida.., stand by for more updates.

¡Hasta la vista!
